President Klaus receives controversial MEP Farage

President Václav Klaus received controversial British MEP Nigel Farage at Prague Castle on Monday. The noted eurosceptic and head of the UK Independence Party was invited to Prague by the conservative association D.O.S.T., which allies itself with President Klaus on many issues. Speaking after their meeting, Mr Farage praised Klaus as the sole European head of state who takes a deeply eurosceptic stance. He said their discussion centred on their concerns that Europe uses every crisis as a pretext to take away another piece of democracy from its members.
